Hibernian 1 - 1 Raith Rovers (Robertson) F.T.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Hopefully keep my 100% record going

[Onceinawhile]

Third game in a row against a team beginning with R. 2 wins so far.

[R'Albin]

Third game in a row against a team beginning with R. 2 wins so far.

But I thought the name of the last team we beat began with a 't'? :wink:

[Gmack7]

team news? have the injuries cleared up?

[StarMan10]

@HibsOfficial: #Hibs (3-5-2) Oxley, Forster, Hanlon, Fontaine, Stevenson, Robertson, Craig, S. Allan, Booth, Malonga, Cummings #HFCvRRFC

Stevenson at right wing back I suppose. Bit worrying as he won't be as good going forward

[Billy Whizz]

Oxley, Forster, Hanlon, Fontaine, Stevenson, Robertson, Craig, S. Allan, Booth, Malonga, Cummings
Surprised at this line up

[Mr White]

The team that started the 2nd half on monday. I can see the sense in making as few changes as possible but would have preferred mcgeoch or Robertson at rwb to keep lewis on the left.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

@HibsOfficial: #Hibs (3-5-2) Oxley, Forster, Hanlon, Fontaine, Stevenson, Robertson, Craig, S. Allan, Booth, Malonga, Cummings #HFCvRRFC

Stevenson at right wing back I suppose. Bit worrying as he won't be as good going forward


Oxley

Forster Hanlon Fontaine

S Allan Robertson Craig Stevenson Booth

Cummings Malonga

Maybe swap Allan with Robertson as I reckon Booth would be better beside Stevenson.

[MartinfaePorty]

Well I couldn't find my season ticket anywhere, so it's the radio for me :-(

[HH81]

Well I couldn't find my season ticket anywhere, so it's the radio for me :-(

The ticket office would have sorted that for you.

[Pretty Boy]

Well I couldn't find my season ticket anywhere, so it's the radio for me :-(

Phone the club and explain you have lost it.

I'm sure they will issue a ticket for this game and a replacement.

[hibsbollah]

If Malonga doesnt score today, I am quite literally a Dutchman :agree: 3-0.

[MartinfaePorty]

Thanks for that. I should have just headed to he office, but was worried might have to pay as rookit. Last time it happened I had to pay and they refunded me once I'd proven I hadn't used the stubs (few years ago now). Better half has plans for me now! Will sort out a replacement for next week.

[SJNB Hibby]

Beating the Huns and losing to Raith is way worse than losing to the Huns and beating Raith
Must win game, but think there's a draw in the cards 2-2

[nonshinyfinish]

For those who can't make it, we're live on Forth 2 today: http://radioplayer.forth2.com/live/

"FFS Stubbs, get that useless prick off the park!"

:wink:

[cjward2]

Stevenson on the right today, but I am hoping that he will provide at least one cross that will produce a goal. He has done it the last two games. Come on Lewie:agree:

[silverhibee]

Good start by Hibs.

[nonshinyfinish]

"All Hibs at the moment" according to Forth 2.

[Ryan69]

Any updates?

[hibsbollah]

Good defensive work by Booth. Always seems to start games well.

Nade looks a shadow of his formal self.

[TowerHibs]

Liam Craig getting abuse from guys in the stand no matter what he does.

[DaveSo]

Sevco one up. Booooo

[Kaff]

"FFS Stubbs, get that useless prick off the park!"

:wink:

Never! :)

[DaveSo]

Falkirk one up at home to Alloa

[Hibs7]

Cmon Hibs ...3 or 4 today 😃

[hibsbollah]

All a bit quiet and patient.

[Pretty Boy]

Really struggling to break down a team who are content to sit in. Again.

Teams seems to be wise on how to play against us at ER.

[hibsbollah]

Malonga tries the overhead. Foul given. Judging by his YouTube footage hes always trying it.

[hibsbollah]

Just wide by Allan. Good play.

[Pretty Boy]

Good strike by Craig.

Malonga looks finished here.

[hibsbollah]

Great shot Craig. We're on top here.

[TowerHibs]

Scott Allan giving ball away a lot, as is Robertson. Craig is best of the 3 today.

Just need to be patient today

[heretoday]

Hibs should sit back a bit and hit on the break like at Ibrox.

[Pretty Boy]

Raith rattle the bar from 25 yards.

We need a goal here.

[hibsbollah]

Raith shot off the bar!

[Pretty Boy]

Goaaaaalllll

[Jones28]

Let's get a goal before half time.

[nonshinyfinish]

YAS!

Robertson.

[Pretty Boy]

Robertson after great football.

[RamblingJack]

jambos 1 up

[Off the bar]

Nice!

[sleeping giant]

Super stuff:thumbsup:

[nonshinyfinish]

Let's get a goal before half time.

:top marks

[Pretty Boy]

Malonga needs subbed, guy can barely walk.

[hibsbollah]

Goal! Who was that?

[HiBremian]

Let's get a goal before half time.

:greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Goal! Who was that?

Robertson put it in.

[Pretty Boy]

Good save Oxley.

[Jones28]

TELT YOUS! :greengrin

[Spike Mandela]

2-0 Hearts

[hibsbollah]

Malonga needs subbed, guy can barely walk.

Hurt himself when he leapt like a Congolese salmon earlier

[Mikey09]

Get in there!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAL!!!!!! :woohoo:

[Jones28]

We should make it 2 before half time...

[Jones28]

*****, half time

[Pretty Boy]

Allan chooses the wrong option when we could have been in and that's half time.

A well deserved lead but still need a wee bit individual magic to unlock stuffy teams like this.

[TowerHibs]

Would like to see Kennedy getting a wee shot through the middle to take a man on. Cummings is also capable though

This.

[Bad Habits]

how's Malonga doing? does he still look injured

[TowerHibs]

This.

Guy beside me going bananas. Spent more time moaning than the smoke was there.

Chill the **** out

[NYHibby]

McPake scored

[hibsbollah]

Looks like hes run it off. Not seen the ball much this half

[Spike Mandela]

McPake scored

Goodwillie scores for Aberdeen

[TowerHibs]

It'll be them that set it off! :)

Nah, too busy calling Craig a dick or prick at 3 very opportunity

[Hibs7]

Eh Hows the game going ?

[Spike Mandela]

3-0 Hearts. Have to say they are negotiating tricky ties with ease

[Berwickhibby]

Sounds like a very poor game...... Hibs sound like they are playing a pre-season friendly

[TowerHibs]

Eh Hows the game going ?

Pretty comfortable defence wise. Not much going forward but like first half, need to remain patient. Scott Allen gets into excellent positions but makes the wrong decision.

[Kato]

Sounds like a very poor game...... Hibs sound like they are playing a pre-season friendly

Yeah, but it's how it looks that counts.

[Hibs7]

Until we start demolishing teams like hearts are doing we are going to struggle !!

[nonshinyfinish]

Nade. Christ.

[Pretty Boy]

****ing Nade

Suicidal defending.

[Gmack7]

Ffs

[Berwickhibby]

FFS Nade!!!! of all people

[Forever_Green93]

Ffs!!

[hibsbollah]

****

[SteveHFC]

Back to our usual

[Hibs7]

I dont believe this crap !!

[Pretty Boy]

Until we start killing teams off this will keep happening.

[GlasgowHibee]

Inevitable he would score really, need to take our chances.

[Spike Mandela]

**** sake, you've got to laugh.:faf:

[Hibs7]

Fortress easter rd ..more like gift shop easter rd ... Get it sorted ffs Stubbs !!!

[DaveF]

Terrible defending yet again while up front we continue to make the wrong choices. Making Nade look good is the biggest embarrassment of an embarrassing season.

[Berwickhibby]

Come on Hibs pick up the pace......

[HoboHarry]

Aye that brought out the hystericals as per usual.

[Hibs7]

Typical Hibs but this is inexcusable !!

[nonshinyfinish]

McGeuoch coming on for Craig.

[Pretty Boy]

How is Booth getting caught offside there? Acres of space and looking right along the line and he strays offside

McGeough in for Craig. Would have been Robertson for me.

[Nando™]

Whelmed.

[erskine-hibby]

Time to earn your money Stubbs, mix it up and get a result

[NOLA]

winning at ibrox counts for nothing if we dont win today, cmon hibs lets push on and win this :flag:

[Hibs7]

Aye that brought out the hystericals as per usual.

Nothing hysterical about being kicked in the nuts AGAIN !!!

[TowerHibs]

Terrible defending yet again while up front we continue to make the wrong choices. Making Nade look good is the biggest embarrassment of an embarrassing season.

Calm down mate. Nade has been quiet apart from goal. exaggeration is mental

[Bostonhibby]

Aye that brought out the hystericals as per usual.

Nah, allisbarry. We might get a point against the mighty Raith. 3 would be better. Not much of an ask.

[Pretty Boy]

Aye that brought out the hystericals as per usual.

Aye because there's nothing to moan about this season right enough.

[Mikey09]

Cummings to get the winner...... :thumbsup:

[TowerHibs]

How is Booth getting caught offside there? Acres of space and looking right along the line and he strays offside

McGeough in for Craig. Would have been Robertson for me.

Robertson or Allen (who has been rotten). Small cheers as Craig gets subbed, poor from the minority

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

We are as predictable as we are frustrating. ****ing Nade. Everytime there's an ex player, a figure of fun, an ex yam or a player that's not scored for 12 months we will somehow conspire to let them score

[Jim44]

Calm down mate. Nade has been quiet apart from goal. exaggeration is mental

Eh, goal beats being quiet in my humble estimation.:rolleyes:

[Berwickhibby]

Come on Hibees ...... Get the finger out!!!!! Harris coming on

[Northern Hibby]

Come on hibs bury this!!

[TowerHibs]

Eh, goal beats being quiet in my humble estimation.:rolleyes:

"Making Nade look good is the biggest embarrassment of an embarrassing season"

I would argue he has been quiet and the ball fell to him in the box. Spoken by guys who have not been to a lot of games this year. More embarrassing things than that. Hysteria rules

[hibsbollah]

Cmon Alex.

[JJP]

Keep the faith people. Come on Hibs. Let's find the winner!

[Spike Mandela]

Have Hibs done anything second half? Very quiet.

[Berwickhibby]

Sorry 1 - 1 at home to Raith is sadly not good enough especially after the last two great performances..... Come on Hibs

[TowerHibs]

Our midfield cost us this game today. Ample opportunities but wrong decisions made. Screaming for someone to pick a pass or be creative.

[hibsbollah]

That's ***** by Booth. Poor second half.

[SteveHFC]

Hibs down to 10 men as Heff comes on

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Usual performance resumed.

Writing was on wall with team selection today.
Team jogs out thinking their world beaters.

That joke was unfunny and frankly gantin the first time you made it.

1 attempt on target. Woeful.

1 attempt on target. Woeful.
BBC stats show 4 attempts. ....

[Big_Franck]

I don't find it particularly funny but it's true. He's gantin.

[Nando™]

That joke was unfunny and frankly gantin the first time you made it.

The thing that's really gantin is that it is entirely true.

[kdhibees1]

Normal service resumed. Only hibs!!

[Aldo]

No point winning away at Der Hun and dropping points at home.

Zero consistency has and will cost us any chance of play offs. Woeful tbh

[Berwickhibby]

What happened to the Team that started on Monday....... cannot believe that this is the same team....... Not good enough !!!! 2 points thrown away...... shocking result

[hibsbollah]

1-1.

Decent first, poor second. Nothing to get furious about. I boo when we are ridiculously bad or show no effort. I don't think booing for a performance like that is justified. You hear booing on ft too often these days IMO.

[Squealing pig]

Only hibs when are we away again ?

[Bad Habits]

3rd match unbeaten, not the ideal result today but keep it up Hibs

[JJP]

We just don't seem to do winning at Easter Road. Disappointing.

[Callum_62]

Up to 5th

Only 12 points and 22 goals behind our stated target after 8 games

[Lago]

No point winning away at Der Hun and dropping points at home.

Zero consistency has and will cost us any chance of play offs. Woeful tbh
Correct, too many still patting themselves on the back following Ibrox win.

[California-Hibs]

We just can't do it at Easter Road. Something is seriously wrong with our players mindsets when it comes to playing at home. This has continued for FAR too long now!

[Gmack7]

3rd match unbeaten, not the ideal result today but keep it up Hibs

what??keep it up ,are you serious??

[blackpoolhibs]

I wonder who will be first to say they'd have taken 4 points from our last 2 games? :wink:

[Heisenberg]

Woeful second half. Didn't cause them any problems at all.

[Forza Fred]

3rd match unbeaten, not the ideal result today but keep it up Hibs

This is the second tier of Scottish football.

If you are happy with this result, then I envy you.

Totally unacceptable result, and will be looking forward to what the manager has to say about it.

[rcarter1]

We just don't seem to do winning at Easter Road. Disappointing.

We aren't great, but its not an Easter Road thing. We've dropped more points away from home. A wee bit complacency, if that was the case, is where the players have let themselves down. (Another) Dissapointing day. :rolleyes:

[Bad Habits]

what??keep it up ,are you serious??

Yes, completely.

If someone had told me before the cup match that we would get 2 wins and a draw against sides including a spfl side and the toughest team we will face in the league this year I would've been chuffed. we're not going to go on a 20 match winning streak just because we are hibs

[Mikey09]

I wonder who will be first to say they'd have taken 4 points from our last 2 games? :wink:


I tell you what.... Last 2 games if you offered me 4 points I would have taken them.. :wink:

[Bad Habits]

didn't at any point say that I was happy at the result, I'm annoyed as anyone but whining about it isn't going to get us anywhere as an overall the last 3 results have been good so I'm relatively happy

[SteveHFC]

That joke was unfunny and frankly gantin the first time you made it.

Sorry mate.

I'll stop posting jokes to suit you.

Thank god,i thought i'd have to wait a bit longer.

[hibee_girl]

Hibs down to 10 men as Heff comes on

That'll be Heff that had a good header near the end of the game?

[Cod Boy]

Playing folk out of positon does my head in ive never understood this. Why not play the right back from the under 20s

[Brightside]

Booth is utter garbage. Waste of a shirt today. Big mistake by Stubbs to move Lewis over to RWB.

[Billy McKirdy]

With a little bit of luck we could easily have won this match, two saves from Cummings and Craig's close efforts shows we are creating.
I'm disappointed we didn't win but not too much, we're still a work in progress.
GGTTH

[SunshineOnLeith]

No excuses. No mitigation. Completely and utterly unacceptable.

[Gmack7]

a 20 match winning streak:confused:
imo 1 good result followed by 1 crap result in this league is nowhere near reason to be "chuffed" as you put it

[blackpoolhibs]

We could do with a winger like this.

[Spike Mandela]

Nae point everybody getting overheated about results like this.. We are 8 games in to the league season and surely the reality of our situation has dawned on everybody.

We aren't going to win this league. We will likely scrape in to the playoffs, get our hopes up for a while, get routinely dismantled by QOTS or Falkirk or beaten by Rangers with a few dodgy decisions thrown in. Next year we will have a team blooded for this league and might even be favourites.

Until then we will have the occasional glimmer of hope like the rangers or Ross County games, plenty games like today and by end of season might even start closing out games like today.

Never been more despondant about my team but realistic enough to know we are where we are.

[Ozyhibby]

That'll be Heff that had a good header near the end of the game?

Did it go in the goal?

[carnoustiehibee]

Not many real uber fans on here

Why are people angry or surprised it's what we do

[Mikey09]

Does that include gifs?


:woohoo::love ya!::dancer::banana::take that:panic::nanasplit: Yep..... No more gifs!!!! :fibber:

[Nando™]

Anyone using the wins at County and Ibrox to justify DRAWING AT HOME WITH RAITH ROVERS needs to sink a dose of reality. Unbeaten in 3, 4 points from 2 games. Nah, get that to ****.

Drawing with Raith Rovers at home will never be good enough for the ambitions we expect from Hibs. Never.

[J-C]

Poor result, very lack lustre with too many sitting on their laurels from monday. Disgraceful for the captain to be subbed and only shows that a 3-5-2 is ok but we don't have the players to cover when a sub is needed. Don't know what was said at half time but whatever Stubbs said please don't ever repeat it as s it didn't work.

[silverhibee]

Yes, completely.

If someone had told me before the cup match that we would get 2 wins and a draw against sides including a spfl side and the toughest team we will face in the league this year I would've been chuffed. we're not going to go on a 20 match winning streak just because we are hibs

So after beating a SPFL team away from home in the cup and beating the toughest team in the league :rolleyes: away from home we should be happy with a point at home to the mighty Raith Rovers, if we are expecting promotion at the first time of asking then we need to be winning our home games to have any chance of achieving that.

[SteveHFC]

:woohoo::love ya!::dancer::banana::take that:panic::nanasplit: Yep..... No more gifs!!!! :fibber:

Anybody still seriously expecting promotion?

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

What happened to the Team that started on Monday....... cannot believe that this is the same team....... Not good enough !!!! 2 points thrown away...... shocking result

Stubbs played the one team that he shouldn't have played today, very lazy team selection if I'm honest.

Rangers game was shown to be a fluke,


"A friend of mine once said he liked his women like his parmesan: strong smelling and shaved"

[Bad Habits]

a 20 match winning streak:confused:
imo 1 good result followed by 1 crap result in this league is nowhere near reason to be "chuffed" as you put it

I wouldn't agree that its a crap result, we have drawn with a team above us in the league. Regardless of how 'good' we're supposed to be and how 'bad' they are supposed to be the team are getting points and getting better as a unit. we are 3 matches unbeaten since I can remember of the top of my head

[silverhibee]

not automatic unfortunately but we should still make the play offs then its anybodys guess

[kevo1875]

Everything just felt a bit flat today ..never seemed like we played with any urgency

[Heisenberg]

It's a pretty terrible result. We are so far behind Hearts it's frightening. Playoffs if we're lucky this season.

[Crazyhorse]

didn't at any point say that I was happy at the result, I'm annoyed as anyone but whining about it isn't going to get us anywhere as an overall the last 3 results have been good so I'm relatively happy

Petrie (and Farmer's) most impressive achievement I think has been lowering the expectations of Hib's fans to the point that people any old garbage worthy of 7/10 marks etc. No doubt mid-table mediocrity this season will be seen as a fine achievement by some as we long fluke a win against the merricks somewhere along the way. We are 12 points and 21 goals behind the jams after 8 games. For me that is a disgrace in a league where we are playing part-timers most weeks.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

not automatic unfortunately but we should still make the play offs then its anybodys guess

Hopefully if we do make the play offs we can ask if its possible to play both legs away from home

[danhibees1875]

It's a pretty terrible result. We are so far behind Hearts it's frightening. Playoffs if we're lucky this season.

Which end?

[Bobo]

What a total pile of sh!!!te, another typical soulless performance from a gutless Hibs team!

I'm disgusted, but not surprised, at how predictably poor a football team we are! After beating an admittedly p!ss poor Rangers team on Monday, with ease, we return to script and fail to turn up at home against a team full of no marks !!

P!ss poor defending cost us yet another 2 points today but the overall standard of performance was totally unacceptable. Everything is far too laboured with no width and no threat. We are a really really sub standard football team who are incapable of passing a ball 10 yards! We have absolutely no chance of getting out of this third rate league because we are nowhere good enough in everything we do... far too soft and apologetic for my liking.

Seriously had enough of this non-committed p!sh week after week, month after month, season after season!

[Keith_M]

I see everybody is back to the wrist slitting again after the high of Monday.


Welcome to Bi-Polar.net


:greengrin

[Brightside]

Tbf we could have had 4 or 5 in first half but 2nd half was dreadful and in worried that Stubbs didn't think of changing formation as it simply doesn't work with Lewis on the right.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Tell you what, the moody/moaning crew were out in force around me today.

Anyone wanna swap seats?

[RIP]

We just can't do it at Easter Road. Something is seriously wrong with our players mindsets when it comes to playing at home. This has continued for FAR too long now!

What colour of shirt were we wearing?

White tops or the camoflague kit? :-)

[silverhibee]

Anybody still seriously expecting promotion?

It will only be through the play off's now if we are lucky, and sadly that is something Hibs don't have/get.

[silverhibee]

So getting into a good position and winning a header doesn't count as good play?

That will be a no then, the guy is a waste of space and shouldn't even be getting a place on the bench.

[matty_f]

We were decent in the first half and deserved the lead. Awful second half and Raith were well worth their point.

Really disappointed to see us dropping points again. It's nowhere near good enough.

[Gmack7]

I wouldn't agree that its a crap result, we have drawn with a team above us in the league. Regardless of how 'good' we're supposed to be and how 'bad' they are supposed to be the team are getting points and getting better as a unit. we are 3 matches unbeaten since I can remember of the top of my head
our expectations are very different,
drawn with a team above us,while factually correct is a depressing view
not sure if we're getting better and 3 matches unbeaten,again factually correct but it's 1 forward 1 back, we are going nowhere slowly

[Mikey09]

I see everybody is back to the wrist slitting again after the high of Monday.

2nd half was terrible.

P!ss poor defending cost us yet another 2 points today but the overall standard of performance was totally unacceptable. Everything is far too laboured with no width and no threat. We are a really really sub standard football team who are incapable of passing a ball 10 yards! We have absolutely no chance of getting out of this third rate league because we are nowhere good enough in everything we do... far too soft and apologetic for my liking.

Seriously had enough of this non-committed p!sh week after week, month after month, season after season!

Wow, sit down. Open the packet of pop tarts and relax

[Real Emerald]

That will be a no then, the guy is a waste of space and shouldn't even be getting a place on the bench.

100% agree with this.

Why were we playing for time with 30 minutes to against Raith Rovers is beyond me too???

[Bobo]

Nah, sorry pal been watching this *****e for far too long and not prepared to take much more. Been a season ticket holder for 35 years but won't be back next season even if we manage to scrape promotion because of all the lies and false promises that the board expect us to suck up year on year.

Hibernian Football Club are perpetual underachievers and don't deserve the support or fan base that they have, they will get a serious awakening next season when crowds of 4 - 5K turn up each week to watch them struggle in this diddy league!

Wel more to life than the hibs mate. Also wouldn't say we were soulless or give you reason to be disgusted (even if u weren't surprised). Though we could have been 3 or 4 up in 1st half and poor 2nd half. Bit like Falkirk game. Anyway, away for a few pints, not suicidal like most on here.

[hibbytam]

Booth is utter garbage. Waste of a shirt today. Big mistake by Stubbs to move Lewis over to RWB.

He set up the goal.

We would have been better playing Boothy at right back and allowing Lewis to play on his natural side.

Boothy would have been just as poor but Lewis would have probably been better.

Shows how weak our squad is when the manager can only come up with a left sided player at right back.

What a refreshing sensible post
Thank You
After 74 years where I have been a regular at Er and a good few away trips I decided a few weeks ago to call it a day on the grounds that
A . I was not being entertained
B. At 82 I think I have put enough money into Hibernian FC :greengrin:wink:

Looked for the result at 17.50 , wasn't surprised and just moved on
As you rightly say no thoughts of suicide and enjoyed a pint of Guiness :thumbsup:

You're right, we will be in this diddy league next year. Based on results so far, two things seem obvious to me ............ we probably won't be relegated but we will not make the playoffs.

There is more to life than Hibs mate and that's why I'll be walking away at the end of the season.

Hibs have ruined far too many of my weekends for far too long, will miss going to games but not the grief the results ultimately bring week on week 😔

Enjoy the pub 🍺 you deserve a drink after having to suffer that mob today.

I'm gonna sound like a broken record but Kennedy or Harris could easily have played there.

Sums up our current mindset that we worry more about defensive vulnerability of playing a winger, rather than focus on the damage they could do offensively.

I agree with that TD but against a good team you probably wouldn't have suggested that.

I would possibly have played McGeouch there for a home match against a team where we were meant to dominate possession.

I find it poor we don't have a back up to David Gray.

Dunsmore was the obvious choice to play at RWB. Booth is either unfit or shockingly lazy.

[davieh]

we certainly lack depth in defence...no defenders on the bench. But why play 5 defenders against Raith for 90 minutes at home..?

[Pretty Boy]

Anyone who still believes we aren't in for at least another year in this league must still have the green tinted specs on.

We have almost played a full round of fixtures and have what is likely to be our complete squad for the season (we have no cash to do anything of note in January) and we are 12 points off the top of the league and 6 off second which is the easiest route through the play offs.

We aren't in any danger of going down another division but it's a pretty depressing place we currently find ourselves. The inevitable drop in STs and revenue next season points to a viscous cycle starting as well.

[Scottie]

Petrie (and Farmer's) most impressive achievement I think has been lowering the expectations of Hib's fans to the point that people any old garbage worthy of 7/10 marks etc. No doubt mid-table mediocrity this season will be seen as a fine achievement by some as we long fluke a win against the merricks somewhere along the way. We are 12 points and 21 goals behind the jams after 8 games. For me that is a disgrace in a league where we are playing part-timers most weeks.

Good post CH :top marks

Still very very early days - I said a few weeks back, I'm firmly of the belief that Hibs are looking at securing top 4 and going into the business end of the season on form.......other sides will have injuries and suspensions, and take dips in form, including Rangers and Hearts.

Disappointing today but unbeaten in three. Shows that we need to get rid of Craig as quick as we can in my opinion, the lad offers zero. Would have played McGeouch at right wing back today, or even Harris. Can't understand why we didn't persist with Lewis at left wing back.

Not disheartened, like I say, long long season ahead and this side will be wildly inconsistent home and away. But we will be in the top 4, thus in with a chance.

[Cameron1875]

**** as expected.

Scotland v Georgia next week thankfully.

Sorry but I thought Booth did well today,especially 1st half...as for Liam Craig..well!...no drive or energy!

next week will see a pretty low attendance

After watching Hibs activity in the transfer window, it was always my view that they had written off trying to win the league and were hoping for a play off spot. Who knows it might pay off but in my opinion the lack of activity spoke volumes for the board's ambition this season.

Really?? Get caught up front all the time and doesn't have the drive to get back and cover which is the whole point of the role. He was blowing out of his erse after 55 mins...which is shocking for a young laddie.

And me.

If we get a play off spot, get promotion and the invest in next seasons squad they could be proved right but I'm not holding my breath on any of that.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i take it wee Jake Sinclair must be injured ? not even in the squad again today, liked the look of McGeouch when he came on, adds a bit of toughness to the midfield

[lucky]

Today showed that Stevenson is a far better left wing back than Booth but he is not a right sided player.

[God Petrie]

Truly a boke inducing article from the BBC about their beloved hertz. Glad I cancelled my license after the referendum.

[Brooster]

Today showed that Stevenson is a far better left wing back than Booth but he is not a right sided player.

In other words Stevenson was *****.

[cabbageandribs1875]

listening to the radio on the way home after the match and they mentioned hertz had more than 3000 fans at the game in Dumfries today, and just in case any listeners missed what they said, they then repeated it about 27 times :rolleyes: big wows

[Bishop Hibee]

BBC stats show 4 attempts. ....

3 trundlers I could have got down to. Pedestrian. We may make the play-offs but I'll be amazed if we go up.

[Tom Hart RIP]

Thought ref was terrible. Failing to play advantage when Allan was fouled was unbelievable. At one point he got 5 consecutive decisions wrong.
Not blaming him for the result but the poorest I've seen this season so far.

[Onceinawhile]

Thought Malonga was dreadful. Wasn't sure if he picked up an early injury or just didn't care.

Moon was lucky just to get a yellow for that, no intention whatsoever to go for the ball, McGeouch was red carded for a similar tackle in the cup game v Ross county

To be fair, think what the really old timers must be thinking when our expectations have been lowered to the point where we're considering diddy league cup wins and average nobodies like Scott Brown, Steven Whittaker, Kevin Thomson and David Murphy are considered great Hibs players :wink:

Keeper's double save early on....

[Ronniekirk]

Picked up injury about fifteen minutes before half time and made it clear he was struggling That seemed to carry on and have no idea why Stubbs didn't sub him early in second half as he was not even trying to track back and Yep came across as disinterested at times but think that's because he clearly wasn't comfortable Poor management decision imo

I wasn't sure if he was continuing to struggle as I couldn't understand him not getting subbed. He was barely mobile ffs!

[Ronniekirk]

He also isn't 100 % match fit so maybe exertions of Monday and knock today combined had an impact .

Hanlon was outstanding.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Everything just felt a bit flat today ..never seemed like we played with any urgency

Pretty well sums it up for me ... until the last 10 minutes the 2nd half performance was no better than ordinary. I have no idea why a clearly struggling Malonga wasn't subbed much earlier.

I lovvvvvved Murphy. I'd have gave Hanlon MOTM today.

[The Harp]

Well the feel good factor didn't last long did it. The great result and 3 points picked up at Ibrox get nullified by a mediocre display at home to a side we should have beaten. The feeling of elation and cautious optimism after Monday night evaporated after this 90 minutes for me. Not surprised by it in the least, 'cos it's the Hibs way, always has been in the 60+years I've supported them, but it's still bloody annoying.
Feet back firmly on the ground now - wonder what we can expect next Saturday ...:rolleyes:

Agree it's the Hibs way! After 45 years I feel the same, BUT, have we ever been as low or as bad as things are now?!!

[wookie70]

I thought we were sloppy from the word go today. They had an early corner and had a six plus footer in five yards of space at the back post completely unmarked. Allen marked the area between Oaxley and our goal for corners in the first half for some reason. We looked laboured and worse still clumsy in possession. Late on we had a corner and everyone waited for Allen who had been subbed to take it.

From the word go we looked like a team that expected to win without having to get out of first gear. We didnt get out of first gear and didn't win. Stubbs didn't imo get it right playing Stevenson on the right and the players decision making was awful. Once again a very poor second half performance at home.

[Golden Bear]

Good question Joe. I was taken to my first Hibs game in 1959 and in all these years the lows have outweighed the highs by the proverbial mile. Having said that the post Mixu era has surely been the worst ever both in terms of results and ENTERTAINMENT. However once a Hibee,always
a Hibee so I live in hope that things can only get better.

[Turkish Green]

Raith Rovers
Queen of the South
Hibernian
Falkirk

Perm any 2 from 4 to make up the Play-off places. It does not really matter is Hearts and Rangers finish 20+ points ahead! as long as Hibs finish in 3rd or 4th position then anything can happen in the Play-offs. Monday's result shows that Hibs need not fear Rangers (or Hearts) so draws against competitors is not so bad.

What Hibs must do is pick up 3 pts against the lower clubs.

The incident when we had the corner late on just summed up the complete lack of urgency. As well as the players I thought the crowd was really flat considering we were just coming off a win at Ibrox.

It did show a lack of urgency but also a lack of organisation. Surely we have a second corner taker detailed if one goes off.

[Deansy]

Knew this would happen today - never have Hibs followed up a great performance/result with a similar outcome the following game !
